Fight for the Katz litterbox underway

For Queens political junkies, the race to replace City Councilwoman Melinda Katz has quickly unfolded as one of the borough's most intriguing contests.

Ex-Assemblyman Michael Cohen vs. Deputy Borough President Karen Koslo-witz. A trio of activists duke it out. Former high school classmates go head to head.

In all, seven Democrats and a Republican are in the mix.

Even Katz herself, who has declared her candidacy for city controller, may run again for the Forest Hills seat if Controller Bill Thompson, a fellow Democrat, cancels his mayoral bid and eyes reelection.

Amid so much uncertainty, political spectators expect many twists and turns - including some candidates dropping out and new ones entering the fray - as the campaign winds toward November.

It's an easy job especially in our district where nobody complains to our elected representatives--so they think all is well. God forbid they go out of their way and do something constructive for our community, rather than let it rot away--Hevesi, Weiner, Katz-- that's all of you! Hevesi-- keep your stupid alternate parking calendar!!! We can read the signs. (How much did that cost the taxpayers?? What do you and your staff do all day??Weiner-- what's up with our disgusting 71st Av subway station that we have complained to you for nearly 8 years now?

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
